Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Highlights include:

   - Larger virtual address space on 64-bit server CPUs. By default we
     use a 128TB virtual address space, but a process can request access
     to the full 512TB by passing a hint to mmap().

   - Support for the new Power9 "XIVE" interrupt controller.

   - TLB flushing optimisations for the radix MMU on Power9.

   - Support for CAPI cards on Power9, using the "Coherent Accelerator
     Interface Architecture 2.0".

   - The ability to configure the mmap randomisation limits at build and
     runtime.

   - Several small fixes and cleanups to the kprobes code, as well as
     support for KPROBES_ON_FTRACE.

   - Major improvements to handling of system reset interrupts,
     correctly treating them as NMIs, giving them a dedicated stack and
     using a new hypervisor call to trigger them, all of which should
     aid debugging and robustness.

   - Many fixes and other minor enhancements.

<content type='text'>
Add the TIF_PATCH_PENDING thread flag to enable the new livepatch
per-task consistency model for powerpc.  The bit getting set indicates
the thread has a pending patch which needs to be applied when the thread
exits the kernel.

The bit is included in the _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK macro so that
do_notify_resume() and klp_update_patch_state() get called when the bit
is set.

<content type='text'>
In general, there's no need for the "restore sigmask" flag to live in
ti-&gt;flags.  alpha, ia64, microblaze, powerpc, sh, sparc (64-bit only),
tile, and x86 use essentially identical alternative implementations,
placing the flag in ti-&gt;status.

Replace those optimized implementations with an equally good common
implementation that stores it in a bitfield in struct task_struct and
drop the custom implementations.

Additional architectures can opt in by removing their
TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK defines.

<content type='text'>
This patch provides VIRT_CPU_ACCOUTING to PPC32 architecture.
PPC32 doesn't have the PACA structure, so we use the task_info
structure to store the accounting data.

In order to reuse on PPC32 the PPC64 functions, all u64 data has
been replaced by 'unsigned long' so that it is u32 on PPC32 and
u64 on PPC64

<title>powerpc/livepatch: Add livepatch stack to struct thread_info</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=5d31a96e6c0187f2c5d7004e005fd094a1277e9e'/>
<id>urn:sha1:5d31a96e6c0187f2c5d7004e005fd094a1277e9e</id>
<content type='text'>
In order to support live patching we need to maintain an alternate
stack of TOC &amp; LR values. We use the base of the stack for this, and
store the "live patch stack pointer" in struct thread_info.

Unlike the other fields of thread_info, we can not statically initialise
that value, so it must be done at run time.

This patch just adds the code to support that, it is not enabled until
the next patch which actually adds live patch support.

<title>all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=f56141e3e2d9aabf7e6b89680ab572c2cdbb2a24'/>
<id>urn:sha1:f56141e3e2d9aabf7e6b89680ab572c2cdbb2a24</id>
<content type='text'>
If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target.  This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.

Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.

Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.

It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

Once upon a time, at least 9 years ago (&lt; 2.6.12), _TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A
meant "TRACE or AUDIT". But these days it means TRACE or AUDIT or
SECCOMP or TRACEPOINT or NOHZ.

All of those are implemented via syscall_dotrace() so rename the flag to
that to try and clarify things.
